This is the end user reality HN generally fails to empathize with. Users need computing consoles or appliances.

PS. Now that you can dock an iPad with an external screen and keyboard and trackpad, try that for him, tell him it's the new Macpad Pro.

I would encourage the HN audience to do tech support (outside of family) for a few friends/customers and charge for it. You learn a LOT.

You should charge a lot. As much as a doctor. Because that's what you are, really.
